"How can an ill-behaved person like me attain devotional service? I have no
loving attachment to Sri Guru and Vaisnavas. My mind
is endlessly absorbed in maya, and I don't even have
the slightest loving attachment to the Vaisnavas. I
have been blinded due to being absorbed in sense gratification day and night
and the witch named maya repeatedly hangs a noose
around my neck. There is no way to defeat her or give her up unless I attain
the mercy of the saints. O Vaisnava! O master! You do
not look for faults, but you simply redeem the fallen! This time redeem this Narottama!"
